Counter-Strike celebrates 22nd birthday today
The Counter-Strike series is celebrating 22 years of dominating the tactical FPS genre today. The original Counter-Strike launched on June 19, 1999 as a mod to the original Half-Life, by Minh “Gooseman” Le and Jess Cliffe. Both were soon hired by Valve, who acquired the intellectual property as well as its creators, and officially released for Windows on Nov. 9, 2000. The official CS:GO account celebrated the anniversary of its predecessor’s creation with a light-hearted jab at the expense of its player base. 22 years old today! ??We’re celebrating by
